Serial Number 4633132 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Lever set — included pictures in collection page
Curator Response: Thanks for posting the images. Very odd. This is definitly an anomoly and supports that some 0-Size production was finished as lever-set even though the factory records do not indicate that. I have added this information to the research notes for the run. Thanks to sharing.

Note: Lever set
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. Elgin did not manufacture a lever-set 0-Size movement. Do you happen to have images for further evaluation and documentation?
